As with all bioinformatic methods there are always multiple programs for completing the same task. Here we will look at another fusion detection program called EricScript (see: Benelli M, Pescucci C, Marseglia G, Severgnini M, Torricelli F, Magi A. Discovering chimeric transcripts in paired-end RNA-seq data by using EricScript. Bioinformatics. 2012; 28(24): 3232-3239)

We will run this on the same data as tophat-fusion. The DB’s and software you need for this program have already been installed in MolBioCloud.
